Here are 5 jokes:

Why don't scientists trust atoms?
Because they make up everything!
Why did the scarecrow win an award?
Because he was outstanding in his field!
I told my computer I needed a break, and it said…
"You've got to be kidding—I'm already on a screen!"
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side!
Why don't eggs tell jokes?
They might crack up!

Unique count: All 5 jokes are unique. Each uses a different structure, theme, or wordplay (e.g., puns, absurdity, tech humor, classic riddles). While some are well-known, their distinct contexts make them individually unique. 😄

Here are 5 distinct jokes:

🥚 I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows way up high. She looked surprised.
🔬 Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.
📚 I’m reading a book on anti-gravity. It’s impossible to put down.
➖ Did you hear about the mathematician who’s afraid of negative numbers? He’ll stop at nothing to avoid them.
⛳ Why did the golfer bring two pairs of pants? In case he got a hole in one.

How many are “unique”?

✅ All 5 are unique — within your requested set.

Clarifying the nuance:

By literal count: Each joke is textually distinct → 5 unique jokes.
By originality: These are light-hearted twists on well-known joke formats (puns, wordplay). True “uniqueness” across all of human humor is nearly impossible to verify—but none are repeated here.
Philosophical wink: “Unique” technically means “one of a kind,” so each individual joke is unique by definition. That’s 5 items with the trait of uniqueness → answer remains 5.

If you meant “How many jokes did you just generate?” → also 5 😉
(And yes, the question itself is a tiny meta-joke.)
